Hi!
I'm going to make my first salt bar - got recipe and will go for 75% salt (added at light trace, as I understand).
Now, I want to make a small batch (in individual bar moulds) just to try this out - would 300g oils work alright? Plus the salt, that would still be over half kilo...
Many thanks, yet again.
 
If I am doing a small batch, I use a pound of oils. I wouldn't go much under that and I have seen others say the same, but 300 g will probably be ok if you're really set on it. If you do a typical salt bar with a 15 or 20% super fat, there's not much danger that it will end up lye heavy.
